Exclamation Re: NTL spam

Its Saturday morning and all is well with the world, Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m awaiting the arrival of a NTL Engineer regarding my STB, but then I get in my inbox of one of my domain email accounts The emails are formated as in email:

So not wanting my account to be frozen I followed the instructions and entered my details, Name Richard Soul, my account number xxxxxxxxxxx, my sort code xx xx xxand password, ivabigun@27 ONLY JOKING I got up early this morning and have not registered to join the DH club. This was lucky as the next email believe it or not was as follows now the only problem with this email I donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t have a CityBank account so this was a big clue it must be a scam.:


We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your Citibank
account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that
there was attempts to compromise it with brute forcing your PIN number.
No successful login was detected and you have full protection by now.
If you recently accessed your account while travelling, the unusual login
attempts may have been initiated by you.


The login attempt was made from:
IP address: 173.27.187.24
ISP Host: cache-82.proxyserver.cis.com


By now, we used many techniques to verify the accuracy of the
information our users provide us when they register on the Site.
However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, Citibank
cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we
have established an offline verification system to help you evaluate with
whom you are dealing with. The system is called CitiSafe and it's
the most secure Citibank wallet so far.


If you are the rightful holder of the account, click the link bellow, fill
the form and then submit as we will verify your identity and register you
to CitiSafe free of charge. This way you are fully protected from fraudulent
activity on all the accounts that you have with us.


Click to protect yourself from fraudulent activity!

I would just love to click the link and give some duff but real looking information so that they think I have fallen for their scam??? But my pooter has Spyblaster loaded, which was real lucky, as it wanted to load 41 scripts to view the web page

To make Citibank.com the most secure site, every user will be
registered to CitiSafe.
